Art To The Body

So blue so thin Wrapped through my body under my skin. The black ink hides the pain Written over top of the colored vein. The deepest scar is hidden amongest the other mistakes. The milky tan tissue hides the outlines of the past The outlines will never fade they will forever last. The hurt stays hidden My truth, my story, and my voice forbidden. The clear liquid drops find a safe place to hide The secrects of mine I can not confide.
